The Schrock Bros

The Schrock Bros Band is a Michigan based Americana/roots/blues ensemble featuring the soulful lead vocals and family harmony of brothers Andrew and Jasen, with ‘Papa’ Mark Schrock. They are joined by Michigan musical legends Peter Madcat Ruth on harmonica, and Michael Shimmin on drums, performing original music peppered with a collection of nuggets from the Americana archives. Andrew Schrock is a well-known Michigan front man in his own right, playing numerous gigs around the state of Michigan and the US at large with his bands Funktion and The Mainstays. He is a gifted soulful singer and songwriter and holds down the bass lines in the Bros Band. Big brother Jasen Schrock brings his years of stage experience in Chicago musical theater and the neo-swing scene of the ‘90’s to the band. Jasen belts out the R & B, blues, and ballads for the band, strumming the acoustic guitar. Multi-instrumentalist Mark "Papa" Schrock is a veteran of the Michigan music community and has performed in a range of Americana- roots bands since 1974. In the Schrock Bros he contributes as a singer-songwriter and plays electric guitar and mandolin. Grammy award winning Peter Madcat Ruth has established an international reputation through his exhilarating, riveting virtuosity on the harmonica. He is equally at home playing blues, folk, jazz, country, or rock and roll. Madcat also leads his own Ann Arbor based project, the CARMa Quartet. Celebrated drummer Michael Shimmin is one of the most in-demand percussionists in the state of Michigan and beyond. Well versed in the styles of jazz, world, folk, rock, and classical music, Mike provides the perfect settings for the Bros wide repertoire. The Schrock Bros have been performing in public since 2006 at a multitude of festivals, community concerts, clubs, parties, brewery and winery gigs, and special events. In June of 2023 they released their first full length recording (available on streaming platforms and CD) entitled ‘Faith In Love’ to the delight of their fans.
